In Chapters Eleven and Twelve, the old woman tells her story of misfortune. She was originally the daughter of the pope and a princess. She was engaged to the handsome prince of Massa-Carrara, but his mistress poisoned him before the wedding. Her mother decided to travel with her to another estate, but their ship was intercepted by pirates. The pirates searched them, raped them, and took them to Morocco as slaves. When they arrived, however, there was a battle going on and the natives tried to steal the booty from the pirates. This resulted in all the other ladies being torn into pieces, as she hid behind the captain. Finally, everyone died and she lay in a pile of corpses. She dragged herself to a tree and passed out, waking to a eunich trying rape her. She told him her story and passed out again. He took her to his home and took care of her, discovered that he had worked as a musician at her mother ' s chapel, and promised to take her with him back to Italy. Instead he sold her to the dey of Algiers, and soon the black plague hit. She survived, but was sold to various traders and ended up under the ownership of an aga of the Janizaries. He was sent to battle and took his harem with him to live in a fort. Eventually, their army was stuck in the fort and had to resort to eating the women for food rather than surrender. However, a Muslim chaplain convinced them to cut one buttock off each woman rather than kill them, saying Heaven will be pleased and help will come if they do. Ironically, the Russians arrived and killed every Janizary soon after they finish their meal. When she healed, she traveled all over Russia and considered suicide on numerous occasions, but realized she loved life too much. She resents her inclination to live and says she has only heard of twelve people who have actually gone through with killing themselves. When she finally ended up as a servant for Cunegonde, she became more interested in her affairs than her own. She also says that she...

...there is a chance there to reduce the total supply chain cycle time and gain the same reduction in inventory as well as increased flexibility and reduced costs.
4. Lead time can affect how long it can take to complete an order. Shipments can end up arriving late if the lead time is prolonged, which affects delivery performance. Forecast errors can cause a supplier to under or overestimate demand, which can lead to stock outs.
Pg. 250
10. The approach that should be used is the one that will lead to the greatest improvement in the measures selected for improvement. The exchange of benefits and costs or disruption to the supply chain must also be considered. The changes that occur must be consistent with the operations strategy and goals.
12. Offshoring is getting the work done in a different country. Outsourcing is when an organization contracts work to a third party. Global sourcing is a strategy that businesses use to try and find the most cost efficient location for manufacturing.
15. Cross docking is an innovation in transportation that involves supplier shipments from docks at the warehouses and transferring them to the customer’s truck at another dock. This reduces the time that items spend in the warehouse inventory. It also speeds up the warehousing function.

Voltaire’s Candide
Voltaire begins the climactic, satirical journey of Candide by first stating where he originates, the castle of Baron Thunder-ten-tronckh (Voltaire 1). This absurd name can be seen as Voltaire taking aim at the ridiculous names of lords, dukes, etc. he has come across. Not only is it an unnecessarily long name, but a humorous one to pronounce. The Baron is also said to have established an unreasonable seventy-one heraldic quarterings due to his family tree having been destroyed by the ravages of time (Voltaire 1). Voltaire is once again making fun of the foolish things royalty takes pride in such as the markings on a shield. The Baroness is revealed as weighing a steep 350 pounds, resulting in her enjoying a large measure of public esteem (Voltaire 1). The satire is evident here with the large Baroness commanding a large amount of respect from the public. Weight was clearly an issue amongst royalty during Voltaire’s time as they were not afraid to divulge in an unhealthy lifestyle. The teachings of the castle’s philosopher Pangloss is defined as metaphysico-theologico-cosmo-codology (Voltaire 2). Just as with the name of the Baron, the abundance of titles and fields studied for philosophers is the center of Voltaire’s satire now. With this title, Pangloss encompasses all fields of study and is able to know the answer to any question asked of him. Voltaire paints Pangloss as a deductive...

ChapterSummaries12-Author's Note
America seemed ever promising to foreigners in other parts of the country in the early 1900's. America was called the promise land and many migrated to give themselves and their families new hope, a new life, and better opportunities. When the immigrants landed in America, many were excited and ready for their new opportunities to start flooding in. They soon found that their opportunities were less than they expected due to prejudice and many now lived in extreme poverty. After strikes and hardships, years later, the immigrants sought and were granted rights and better working conditions. Though throughout this time, war and hardship was at its peak. The amount of time taken to accomplish such rights lasted many years and was a constant struggle to the end.
Mexico borders the United States, and many Mexicans wanted to migrate over the border into the U.S. for a better chance in life. Most Mexicans did not bother to report immigration to the authorities. They would simply just migrate across the Rio Grande and into the U.S. In the eyes of Mexicans in Mexico the U.S. was the land of opportunities. Many Mexicans fled Mexico to escape poverty and starvation. They were essentially pushed from their own land because of...
